	<h2>
		School is tricky, and there is no universal pathway to success. I started
		Carpenter Tutoring for those seeking a little help finding their way.
	</h2>

	<p>
		I received my B.A. from The College of William and Mary in 2018 and received
		my M.Ed. from W&amp;M in 2020. As an undergraduate, I worked and was trained
		as a tutor at W&amp;M's peer tutoring center, the Tribe TutorZone. During
		this period, I conducted over 150 one-on-one appointments with W&amp;M
		students in 26 different content areas. I earned lifetime Advanced Tutor
		Certification, the highest level W&amp;M can grant, through the College
		Reading and Learning Association, and I was trained as a time management
		consultant. I took on leadership roles within the TutorZone until I was
		working alongside its director. As a graduate student, I became one of the
		Graduate Assistants helping oversee the TutorZone as well as an academic
		coach to students with high need for academic support.
	</p>

	<p>
		I loved getting to work with the Tribe TutorZone tutors, but I realized that
		I missed being the tutor. There's just nothing like watching the light bulb
		of understanding go off or seeing students who had struggled with material
		master it! With that realization, I decided to dedicate my life to my
		passion -- helping students of all ages learn, succeed, and believe in
		themselves.
	</p>

	<p>
		My instructional approach focuses on meeting students where they are and
		supporting them through any hesitations or discomforts from which academic
		difficulties may arise. Whether your student only has to brush up on a few
		concepts or is resistant to completing coursework, I will come to each
		session with patience, understanding, and just the right amount of
		discipline. I truly believe that excellent educational relationships begin
		with mutual respect, and I work to build meaningful relationships with all
		of my clients.
	</p>

	<p>Thank you for considering Carpenter Tutoring.</p>
